Summary

This completed Phase 3 study in 24 healthy adults examines whether taking a fixed-dose combination of extended-release torsemide and spironolactone with or without food changes how the body absorbs the drugs. Participants receive a single dose under both conditions, and researchers measure drug levels in blood and urine. The goal is to guide dosing instructions for this heart failure medication.
